What is wrong with Moult, Effords and Spittal?

Agree we were poor on the ball but on the other side we pretty much were holding Rangers quite comfortably for the most part. The nature of how we gave away the two goals is what makes it so frustrating. i don’t recall Kelly having to make any real saves.

Two dreadful lapses in defence marred an otherwise decent display but would not have picke Morris to start.

I’ll take that

No attacking threat to come back from one down never mind two.

Gift wrapping the 3 points for them.

WTF why did no one stop him. Free run

I’d take 0-0 with our players today. Couple names I don’t know on the bench are they the attacking options? or is that Mugabe

We are doing well for playing with 10 men!

Ref got his blue jersey on below the black one?

What hell happened to all our players

Let’s hope Rangers have the opposite reaction to what Celtic are having.

As Brian cough once said (paraphrasing) “if his player is on the pitch he better be seeking to gain an advantage” ! So many nowadays will deliberately stray offside and then get an advantage from that once an onside player gets the ball. I’d be more for pulling that up rather than worrying about a mm here or there

Exactly. If you’re not sure in 20 seconds the call on the field stands Just As an example that VAR can still screw up I’m sure west ham git 2 goals last weekend that involved handball in the lead up. One was difficult to tell but the other one they never even looked at and was a stick on hand ball

Yep. Kick them when they’re down !

After all their slagging of other Scottish teams in Europe and how they are an embarrassment it kind of came back to bite them in the bum. a wee bit of Karma.

I know. Considered it and then just watch the game later if we win but can’t help myself. I’ll be up.

Hate these noon kick offs. Means it’s 6am for me. Uggghhh!!!!

One of my first memories (might have been my first game) is a 3-3 draw against rangers at Fir Park in the early 60’s. I think Willie Hunter might have got a broken arm in that game or perhaps he had just recently recovered from one.

Would be great if we can even come away with a draw but who knows maybe we will be up for it and take all 3 points. COYW

Where did Utd pull that result from?? Our result today is not fully unexpected. Our major slip ups have been versus Utd and Killie. Threw 5 points away between those two games, otherwise we’d be sitting in third spot. (Yes, I know about aunties ba’s and awe that) So we are not too far off the mark. Long way to go in the season I think we will win our fair share and finish top 6 on our own merit.

Agree, we need to work on set pieces. None of our corners or free kicks caused any concern for Hibs and I think the same for most of our games. Midfield was our issue today I think. Gave the ball away too easy too often and so we never got any momentum going. I’m assuming we will blow hot and cold throughout the season in the performance of the midfield but hopefully we can build up some more consistency. For the most part I thought our defence was fine. Midfield poor and forwards not really in the game but Effords looking the most dangerous of the three.

I think Effords has played well enough to keep his place. I’d imagine McKinstry will get his chance to secure a starting place now with Shields suspended.

I’d give Sol pass marks. I thought he was the one holding the defence together.

Not a good performance today. Gave the ball away too much. Not entirely unexpected. It’s still early days with Stevie but hopefully consistency will come with time. Perhaps if we had stayed at 11 players we could have got something from the game but we were always struggling today.
